Red's Savoy Pizza - Uptown Minneapolis

[bob s]

FYI, Red's Savoy has opened in the old Galooney's space at 24th and Hennepin on Tuesday. I have never had their pizza, but know that there are some admirers of it on the board.

(I still haven't had their pizza. I stopped in for a slice, but they don't sell them. RIP Galooney's.)

So sad that Galooney's is gone. Personally, I'm not a fan of Red's Savoy. I'm not sure what the attraction is. Galooney's was one of my favorites in the Twin Cities; to be replaced by Red's Savoy is, in my opinion, adding salt to the wound.

I wonder how Red's will work in that place. Will they board up the windows, import some grumpy old seventysomething waitresses, and occasionally crash a car into the storefront? That should capture the ambience.

I'm intrigued to see how this plays out in Uptown. Somehow, Red's Savoy seems inherently St. Paul'ish to me.

In my opinion it is a bad move not to sell slices, at least for a while so people can check out the quality.

In their defense, they said they were selling "mini-pizzas" for $5-6. Not the same as a slice, though.

All of the slices in the Uptown area seem to be disappearing, save Soho Pizza on Hennepin between 25 1/2 street and 26th Street. It's not one of my favorites. Any pizza-by-the-slice places that I'm missing in the Lyn/Lake - Uptown are?

Whole Foods Calhoun has them.

Uptown Pizza has them. Lake and Grand. We really like their pizza.

[bob s]

Thanks! They're just beyond my normal circle of pizza consciousness - Dulono's is on the boundary - but I will seek them out.

I'd second Uptown pizza. I've enjoyed their gyro pizza since I was young.

Probably due to the "up-scaling" of Uptown.

Galooney's will be missed. I loved getting their pizza with garlic and feta on it - pungency at its best.
